US: Islamist Barber Of Seattle In Somalia
News from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, World Net Daily and National Terror Alert states that Seattle barber who indoctrinated kids in jihadi ideology as he clipped their hair, has fled to Somalia.
Rubenn Shumpert is a black convert to Islam, also known as Amir Abdul Muhaimin, who had a barbershop at 7821 Rainier Ave, Rainier Valley in Seattle, showed children jihadist videotapes. Shumpert had been arrested two years ago by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. Though not convicted of terrorism, he faced charges including immigration and bank fraud.
Shumpert has been found guilty on federal counterfeiting and weapons charges, and was due to be sentenced on Tuesday. Shumpert was released from custody prior to being sentenced, and a condition of his release was for him to hand in his passport to federal authorities.
Shumpert, however, did not hand in his passport, but fled the country. He telephoned an FBI agent on the Joint Terrorism Task Force, to say that he was now in SOmalia, which has no extradition treaty to the United States.
Assistant US Attorney Bill Redkey told Seattle PI that it has been common in recent years for judges to allow defendants to submit their passports after their release from custody. He said that the US Attorney's Office is now reviewing the procedure in such instances.
Shumpert was never convicted on terrorism offenses, but the court documents maintain that his barber shop was a place of indoctrination, an "anti-American training ground for Muslims". The videos he showed children were of "fighting, shooting and killing with images on Shumpert's computer screen of al-Qaida and the Taliban."
With Somalia now about to become engaged in a war with its neighbor Ethiopia, Shumpert may yet witness jihadists at war, first hand, and may not be so enthusiastic when it he experiences it himself.
